Pentaquark Search in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions with STAR

Nuclear Experiment 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We report on the progress of the pentaquark searches by the STAR collaboration in p+p, d+Au, and Au+Au at sNN=200s_{NN}=\sqrt{200} GeV collisions through one of the decay modes of Θ+p+Ks0\Theta^{+}\to p+K_{s}^{0}. Θ+\Theta^{+} state is an exotic baryon with strangeness S=1 and is the lightest isospin member of the expected antidecuplet. We compare our techniques for the pentaquark search with those for the short-lived resonances. These results were presented as a poster at Quark Matter 2004.
